Ouch. So .. my 12 and 14 year olds got #1 three weeks ago Sunday. I'd rather have them get the shot Saturday, so if they're sick, it'd be Sunday and not a school day.Think they'd give a shot after 20 days instead of 21?
SSM Health in Madison said that you can go 19 days up to 60 days for round 2. They'll give you 2 days prior. I would confirm that before you go, but that was what I was told. Pfizer.
Marquette to require all to be vaxxed.https://today.marquette.edu/2021/06/a-message-from-president-lovell-student-vaccination-requirement/Nice to see.
Just to tweak your intro comment a bit Lens. It's All students. Faculty, staff, admin strongly encouraged.
This sounds good and all, but if you look at the FAQ under "Compliance and Exemptions," you will find this:"In alignment with our current vaccination policy, vaccine exemptions will be granted for medical, religious and personal conviction reasons.""Personal conviction" is basically a catch-all for people who just don't want to get it.
In other words, the people who aren’t vaccinated will not need to be vaccinated. Why even have a policy?
My guess is that those who aren't vaccinated are still going to have to do things like wear masks indoors, quarantine as a close contact, not have overnight visitors in dorm room, etc.So you have a policy to make it clear that those who are vaccinated are going to be able to have a much more normal college experience.
From the FAQs:What constitutes a “personal conviction?”Students who request an exemption based on their personal beliefs must complete and submit an exemption form that requires them to 1) acknowledge the availability of a vaccine; 2) acknowledge the public good of being vaccinated; 3) acknowledge the personal risks of not being vaccinated; and 4) signing (or if a minor, having parent/legal guardian sign) the form to request the exemption based on their personal beliefs.If a student is approved for a vaccine exemption, what will they be required to participate in related to COVID mitigation on campus?Students who are granted an exemption will be required to complete the daily COVID Cheq screening process, participate in surveillance testing, quarantine for 14 days if contact tracing determines they came into close contact with someone infected with COVID-19, and any other university-wide protocols related to COVID-19 mitigation.While there will no longer be a mask requirement in place, we support guidance from health officials that mask wearing indoors decreases the spread of COVID-19. We encourage members of our community who are unvaccinated, immunocompromised or at high risk for COVID-19 complications to continue wearing a mask while indoors.https://www.marquette.edu/coronavirus/faq-top-ten.php?fbclid=IwAR2kwG8hetkoTvnz6CeDy5yiwTs_6h-KvCUT43ep-u4LMSVU7QKRMTFfVNI
I actually hope that broadly speaking that's the way it is for all of us. If you're vaccinated, live life to its fullest with absolutely zero restrictions related to Covid. If you're unvaccinated, here's the laundry list of protocols you'll have to follow. Oh, and we as a business have every right NOT to make our product/service available to you. (I'm thinking cruise ships, for example.) Still, nobody is forcing you to be poked.
Need full approval by the FDA before mandates can be made. It's an important next step. There is just emergency approval right now that people forget.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/05/18/covid-vaccines-what-full-fda-approval-means-for-you.htmlAlso, tie the next stimulus check to the vaccine. Should have been done to start with. The choice remains with the individual.
How would businesses verify vaccination?
I think that depends on the business. I'm not worried about the corner store or restaurant. I'm thinking things like international travel, university on campus experiences, stuff like that. I'm sorta back where I've been for awhile. I'm vaccinated so leave me alone to do as I please.
Next stimulus check? Lolz
